Yeah, I thought the reason why this hasn't been done before because the US is too damn big unlike France and Japan. Which I why I only see localized rail system like in the Bay Area and New York. Then again, I don't travel much so I can't say. Would I like to use the railway system? Hell yes. I've always wanted to travel from CA to WA by train. Only, when I look at the cost and travel time, the ticket costs about the same as an airplane ticket but the trip is around 24 hours long. Too long.
